The Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is one of the largest NHS teaching trusts in the country. It provides a wide range of general and specialist clinical services and is a base for medical education, training and research.

The Trust comprises of four hospitals - the John Radcliffe Hospital, Churchill Hospital and Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Headington and the Horton Hospital in Banbury.

Our values, standards and behaviours define the quality of clinical care we offer and the professional relationships we make with our patients, colleagues and the wider community. We call this Delivering Compassionate Excellence and its focus is on our values of compassion, respect, learning, delivery, improvement and excellence. These values put patients at the heart of what we do and underpin the quality healthcare we would like for ourselves or a member of our family. Watch how we set out to deliver compassionate excellence via the OUH YouTube channel.

Many of our recruitment programmes use values-based interviewing to identify those who have the skills we seek, who share our values and who are able to deliver compassionate excellence from the outset. We know that this makes a significance difference to your job satisfaction and above all the outcomes and experience of our patients and their families.

We are seeking to recruit a dynamic and motivated Administrator to join our established newborn hearing screening team.

Applicants need to be flexible, able to work independently and liaise effectively with service managers, team colleagues, parents and others health care professionals. General secretarial and clerical skills are essential to enable the candidate to support the NHSP local managers and their team. The candidate must have excellent interpersonal and communications skills and good working experience of Microsoft Excel and Word software packages, as these are used on a daily basis.

An understanding of quality assurance is desirable to support the team and the local managers achieve adherence to national programme standards and key performance indicators. A working knowledge of web based databases and working within a hospital environment would also be desirable, although training will be given to the successful applicant.

There will be a skills assessment as part of the interview.
